What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Diver for its build quality, comfortable wearability, and classic design with desirable brand heritage, suitable for diving. Some owners consider it a favorite, appreciating its case wear and aging tritium as a classic replacement for previous military issue watches. However, a common complaint across multiple sources is the fixed spring bars, which limit strap options, and some find the watch overpriced for its features, particularly when compared to other military-style watches or when noting specific branding text. One owner wishes CWC offered a smaller diver size. On balance, owners rate the CWC RN Diver highly for its utilitarian capabilities and historical connection, despite concerns about strap versatility and value.

Resco Stainless

Owners widely praise Resco's customer service, with one owner noting their watch was repaired quickly and affordably after a severe accident, and another highlighting the brand's veteran-owned roots and Navy Seal heritage. The cases are described as strong and durable, suitable for an outdoorsy lifestyle and harsh conditions. One owner likes the dial's small 0.2-second indices and trident second hand. However, one owner reported rusting issues on the case by the time and date adjusting screw, which the company stated is normal and may require cleaning. Another owner feels Resco watches are not great value for money given their ETA movements and price. Overall, owners rate Resco watches highly for their durability and customer service, with the strong cases being a significant draw.
